I sat on top of the car, over looking the highway. I sighed. It was all dead. Nothing moved. It didn't surprise me. The high ways in the back end of Nevada were almost always dead. Nothing but flat desert. Miles and miles of desert. I lit a cigarette, and took a large drag.

"That thing stinks Jade," a voice said, floating up from the car. I looked down at Tori. I slammed the little flutter in my heart that happened every time I looked at her face. I scowled at her.

"Feel free to go away Vega" I snapped.

Tori pursed her lips. "I can't leave Jade, you know that" I rolled my eyes. "I mean inside the car genius"

Tori looked even more annoyed with my sarcasm. I didn't care. Tori kept staring at me as I smoked. After a few seconds, I sighed and gave in. I held out the pack to her. With the guiltiest shrug I have ever seen from anyone, Tori accepted the cigarette. I leaned forward and Tori lit the end of her cigarette off of mine. She exhaled some smoke through her nose and leaned back against the car. I chuckled.

"Never thought the Saint of Hollywood Arts would ever smoke"

Tori gave a guilty smile. "Not always a saint Jade. Remember what I did to Flex?"

I laughed out loud at that. Flex had been this idiot who pretty much lived at the gym. A narcissistic douchebag of the highest order, he had hit on everything that even looked female at HA. When he tried to cop a feel on Cat at a party, all of us flipped out on him. He didn't get the message. So a couple days later, Tori somehow snuck a stink bomb into his car, and set it off when he was inside of it. I only figured it out when I overheard Cat discussing how Tori had hounded her brother until he showed her how to make stink bomb and set it off remotely.

I laughed, remembering Flex's gagging face has he stumbled out of his car.

"Didn't it take like 3 weeks and several thousand dollars to defumigate his car? And him for that matter?" I asked with a mirth filled voice.

Tori chuckled and looked embarrassed. "It was a month before he could use his car again"

I exhaled a cloud of smoke and smiled. "A much better thing to do then pull a Taylor Swift and write a damn song about him"

Tori mock glared at me. "Her songs weren't that bad"

I just looked at her and snorted. I leaned back and closed my eyes and basked in the sun. I heard Tori lean against the car.

"Jade, look!"

The panic in Tori's voice brought back to earth. I followed her hand and out to where she was pointing. Out at the distance, a figure was walking..no shambling towards us. Every second he or she was getting closer to us. I grabbed the rifle right next to me. Some military grade rifle.

I lay down on the roof of the car. I looked down the scope at the approaching figure. I sighed.

"Corpser Tori. Don't see any others around here. You see any others?" Tori grabbed her own rifle and looked around.

"I don't see any"

I nodded. "Fine. I'm dropping this fucker"

The rifle barked, and the corpser's head exploded into red ruin and it collapsed in a heap. Just another day. I sighed. This was the usual. Day in day out. Move from place to place, kill a few corpsers, try and find food and whatever else is needed to survive.

Corpsers. Walkers. Biters. Zombies. Doesn't matter what you call them. They're all the same. Living dead. Flesh eating monsters. About six months ago the virus appeared on the east coast. In less then no time it had spread all across America. City after city fell. And then Washington blew up. Some say the president did himself. Others say it was a lunatic General who set off the nuke. It didn't matter. Washington and most if not all of the government were gone. Couple days after that, the United States of America ceased to exist. Canada followed shortly after that. This fucked up virus was limited to North America. It spread all over the goddamn world.

Only reason Tori, Andre, Beck, Cat, Robbie Trina and I all survived was because we were on a cross-country road trip to celebrate the start of the summer. We only got to the Midwest before Tori's mom called her. LA was going to hell. The virus has started for the west coast there. So it was worse there then anywhere else. We didn't make it in time.

The military cluster bombed the hell out of it. The people who survived the virus and the military scattered everywhere. We couldn't find anyone we knew. I didn't give a damn about my father or my latest stepmother. But Tori and the others….I didn't know what to do. They had all probably just lost everyone they cared about. I was never good with compassion or anything like that.

And now, we were traveling from place to place. Looking for anything that would help us get to the next day. We had camped at a military base for a bit, where an awesome Colonel named Felix gave us some guns and ammo, and taught us how to use them. We would have stayed at the base, but it was over run in a week.

We grabbed some vehicles and high tailed it the hell out of there. We've been on the road for a few weeks now. Beck has been our unofficial leader. Nobody questioned it. If anything we all encouraged it.

They said that they were looking for their parents and other family members. I didn't think that we would find any, but I didn't dare to say anything. I wouldn't disturb their peace of minds. Especially not Tori's.

I flicked the butt of the cigarette onto the ground. I wasn't a smoker before the shit hit the fan. But since the world has pretty much ended, so why the hell not? Must be Tori's reason for smoking as well.

"When do you think they'll get back?" Tori asked.

I shrugged. "I don't know Vega. Beck, and Andre went to look for gas, so they'll definitely be awhile. Cat, Robbie and Trina went to find….something so I don't have even the slightest clue when they'll get back."

Tori sighed. "I hope they're okay."

I reached down and put my hand on her shoulder. Tori looked up at me in surprise, since I wasn't normally the type to be all touchy feely. But these were very different circumstances.

"So do I Vega. So do I"

Welp…here it is. A zombie jori flick…because why the hell not? Well, I'm out due to classes being in the morning.

Hope you all enjoy and wish to see more.
